What I Ate Wednesday 10 – On Weight Watchers

First up, breakfast! I had two cups of coffee with half and half and sugar, measured out for points, of course (2 pp for the two cups). I also had a bagel thin with peanut butter and banana (6pp).

I always eat breakfast at my desk while I log on to work. At lunch time I raided the fridge for leftovers. I love to try and create new dishes out of leftovers. For example, Saturday night after watching football I had my in-laws over for dinner. We had slow-cooked pork roast, black-eyed peas and mashed potatoes for dinner.

So for lunch I heated up some of the pork (7pp) and black-eyed peas (1pp), and put them over a bed of greens (0pp). I am loving this baby kale mix from Organic Girl, by the way

So I added some mozzarella cheese (1pp) and mushrooms (0pp) and topped the whole thing off with a home-made honey mustard vinaigrette (3pp). I love making single serving vinaigrettes with basic pantry ingredients because I know exactly how many points are in them.

And here is the salad. So good!

For snack I had some popcorn (not pictured) for 4pp.

For dinner I made another great recipe from Skinnytaste: Lentil Chicken soup (5pp) with French bread (2pp). It was delicious and so filling!

LOVE these what i ate weds posts so please keep them up? Just a question, how did you count 2 points for French bread. This is DEF my weakness and I could eat it every day.

Just a tip, in case you are curious? I found Alexia garlic bread (french) in the freezer section. It’s totally clean and pre- cut slices so no guessing or weighing with slice sizes. Two pre-cut slices are 3 points. Not bad at all with your soup!! 🙂

I am so glad that WIAW posts are helpful to you Maria! I have gotten similar feedback from other readers. So I plan to continue doing them for the foreseeable future.

As far as French bread, I buy the baguettes from the freezer section at Costco. Le Petit is the brand. One third of one baguette equals two points plus. I actually just shot another Costco shopping haul video today so stay tuned! I’ve got to edit it a little bit so it may be a couple of days before I get it posted. I have not found the Alexia garlic bread! I love their products though so I will have to check that out.

That soup looks yummy! I recently discovered your blog along with several other WW enthusiast sites. I’m on a campaign to get my “pretty” back, and WW has worked for me in the past. I will definitely be following your progress and supporting you. (While finding motivation or myself) Thanks for the post. 🙂

Hi there! This is my first visit as I’m popping over from Jenn’s WIAW link-up. That lentil chicken soup sounds delicious – thanks for the link! I love making my own dressings too. So much more flavor in them.
